Asian inspired chickpea burger
for 4 burgers
240 gr boiled chickpeas
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, finely chopped
½ tsp coriander seeds, ground
1 tsp ground flaxseeds
1 ½ tsp tahin
1 tsp lemon juice
1 ½ tsp tamari or soy sauce
2 tbsp buckwheat flour
¼ red onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
½ cup fresh coriander leaves
pinch of cayenne or chili
pinch of salt
200 gr chard*
tamari
4 burger buns
ketchup
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them with a handheld mixer. Make sure that you don’t mix everything, so that there’s some structure left in your burgers.
Shape 4 burgers out of the burger mixture and bake them in some oil of choice on a high heat.
Slice of the stems of the chard and bake it on a high heat for 5 minutes with a splash of tamari. Next, braise the chard leaves for about 3 minutes on medium heat, till the leaves are soft.
Put some ketchup on your burger buns, place the burger on the buns and slice up the chard stems. Place the stems on your burger, together with the leaves.
*If you can’t find any chard, you can also use spinach.
Enjoy your Vegan Burger Day!
